Yan Baihu cried and wiped away tears.

In Yan Baihu's thoughts, the Baiyue tribes are a group of unenlightened savages, who carry cauldrons, stone spears, and animal skins every day, living in grass piles and stone caves, drinking blood, and occasionally killing a few passers-by to drink wine and improve their food.

Yan Baihu has never seen anything in the world, it is all hearsay, but the potter knows in his heart that the truth is not like that at all.

In ancient times, the south of the Yangtze River was indeed the world of the Baiyue people, and the Yue culture system formed from the Hemudu culture and the Liangzhu culture was indeed very significantly different from the Central Plains culture, while the Yue people used a language that was related to the Austronesian language family in later generations, which was very different from the Sino-Tibetan language family.

But after entering the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the original porcelain, bronze swords and other crafts of the Wu Di Yue people even surpassed the Central Plains, and in the Warring States Period, there was even a strong country with the Yue people as the main body, and once became the overlord of the Central Plains.

The Baiyue tribes are relatively civilized, and now in Danyang County and Wu County, which are led by pottery merchants, there are also many Yue people who have been sinicized, but in Yuzhang County, Huiji County, and Ouyue, Minyue, Yangyue, Nanyue, Xiou and so on in the south of Jingzhou, they are indeed still in a relatively primitive state.

This original ecology does not refer to Ru Mao's blood drinking, but to the fact that it is not attached to Wanghua.

In fact, the potter would not be willing to send Yan Baihu, the second goods, to communicate with Baiyue, but among his subordinates, he was in the mountains and forests back then and understood that although the Yue of Wu Land was different from the Baiyue in the south, they had the same path, and the general life situation should be similar.

Don't ask Yan Baihu to say that he can move the Baiyue tribes towards him, as long as he can say that he can move a few Yuan Shu counters, it will be of great help to himself.

And this time there is Lu Dai to assist him, in the potter's mind, there should still be some hope for this matter.

……

According to the strategy agreed with everyone, the pottery merchant slowed down the speed of the southward march, and deliberately let Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses enter Yuzhang County first.

Indeed, as Sima Yi guessed, Yuan Shu had bad intentions, and he was still careful at this time.

He let Sun Ce's soldiers and horses be all the vanguards, and led the advanced troops to Nanchang.

The intention of making Sun Cejun the vanguard of the front was very simple, Yuan Shu wanted Sun Ce and the pottery merchant army who came to collect Nanchang to directly encounter, and the two sides would fight each other, and at the same time weaken the combat power of the pottery merchant and Sun Ce, which would help him with other plans in the future.

But unfortunately, Yuan Shu's plan failed.

When Sun Ce arrived in Nanchang, Prince Taiping did not come at all.

Yuzhang Taishou Zhuge Xuan, who was in charge of guarding Nanchang, heard that Sun Ce's soldiers and horses had arrived, and immediately opened the city gate to welcome the Sun family's soldiers and horses into the city.

Zhuge Xuan's position of Yuzhang Taishou was recommended by Yuan Shu back then.

And Yuan Shu's reason for doing this is very simple, in order to be able to subdue the place today.

Zhuge Xuan and his nephew Zhuge Jin respectfully presented Sun Ce with the county's seal, population registration and table book.

Sun Ce sat on the main seat of the county guard's mansion, casually flipped through the county table, he squinted at Zhuge Xuan, and said: "Before the generals and horses arrived in Nanchang, could the pottery merchants send troops or send people to Nanchang?" ”

Facing the orphan of this Jiangdong tiger, Zhuge Xuan did not dare to slack off, and said respectfully: "General Hui, Jinling has never sent a single soldier to Nanchang, nor has he sent a messenger during this period. ”

Sun Ce let out an "oh", suddenly changed his words, and said coldly: "Zhuge Gong, is this true or false?" Don't lie to the general! If you let Ben find out that you are in tandem with the potter, it will not be so easy to deal with it when you turn back. ”

Zhuge Xuan was shocked when he heard this, and a puzzled look appeared on his face, and said, "Why did the young general say this?" Why did the old man deceive you? The general's words are intemptuous. ”

Sun Ce said slowly: "It's good to be prepared, I heard that you have a nephew, who is a student of the pottery thief in Jinling City, and with this relationship, I am afraid that your heart is not on Yuan Gong's side, and you will fall to Jinling's side at any time!" ”

Zhuge Xuan's face suddenly showed anger when he heard this: "Who does the young general think of the old man?" Although the old man was stupid, he also learned that Entu reported that Liang'er entered Jinling City for a reason, and the old man didn't want to explain more...... But the old man's Yuzhang county guard, but it really comes from the recommendation of the general, if the general wants Yuzhang County, the old man is naturally ready to offer it, everything is disobedient, how does the young general think that the old man is such a despicable person? ”

Sun Ce didn't get angry, just laughed and said: "Don't doubt it, Zhuge Gong, as a pioneer officer under Yuan Gong's account, should be more careful in handling things, and if you don't ask some things clearly, it will be difficult to explain to Yuan Gong when you turn around...... Here, it is necessary to apologize to Zhuge Gong. ”

Zhuge Xuanqi snorted, very unhappy.

But since Sun Ce apologized, he couldn't hold on to it, but just returned the gift to Sun Ce in accordance with the law.

Sun Ce waved his hand and suddenly shouted, "Deng Dang!" ”

Among Sun Ce's generals, a big man stepped out and said to Sun Ce: "Here!" ”

Sun Ce pointed to Zhuge Jin behind Zhuge Xuan, and said: "You will go to Nanchang City with Ziyu Gongzi now, take stock of the arsenals, money depots, and granaries in the city, check the number of books, and seal them all after the number is counted. ”

Deng Dang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "No! ”

Zhou Yu stood beside Sun Ce and didn't speak, but suddenly said to Deng Dang: "Deng Sima, when checking the various treasury in Nanchang, be sure to take your brother-in-law and let him learn from you." ”

Deng Dang was stunned when he heard this.

His brother-in-law is fifteen years old, but he just came over to join him in his hometown some time ago, why did Zhou Yu even know about this?

Zhou Jun said...... Is it Lu Meng? ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "What? Have you forgotten your brother-in-law's name? ”

Deng Dang hurriedly bowed and said, "No! It's just that I never imagined that a fifteen-year-old baby could be valued by Zhou Jun, which is really, really ......"

Zhou Yu waved his hand and interrupted him: "Go, I have met your brother-in-law twice, he is a talented person, lead him to exercise, turn around and send him to me, Yu is urging you to be a good student." ”

Deng Dang retreated when he heard the words "promise, promise", but there was a big muttering in his heart.

Lu Meng's kid is just a wild child in Deng Dang's eyes, he may be quite strong physically, and he may become a good captain in the army in the future, but it is estimated that this is the case at most.

There are countless such characters in Sun Cejun, why did Zhou Yu fall in love with him alone?

Deng Dang led Zhuge Jin to take stock of the treasury, and Zhuge Xuan bowed to Sun Ce and said: "Before the old man left Yuzhang, he wanted to see Yuan Gong and thank Yuan Gong for his recommendation in person, I don't know if the young general can approve it?" ”

Sun Ce smiled slightly and said, "What Zhuge Gong said, when Yuan Gong arrives in Nanchang, you always have the opportunity to meet Yuan Gong, why rush for a while?" As for leaving Yuzhang County, at least after defeating the pottery thief. ”

When Zhuge Xuan heard this, his whole body trembled.

What does Sun Ce mean by this? He didn't want to detain the old man here and take him hostage!

This son is extremely rude!
